That would be perfect for my soon-to-be 3 year old son. He loves tools and wants to be a builder/farmer. He has plenty of time to make up his mind. He would love the real nuts and bolts. Thank you for sharing.

A friend who does woodworking with a group of kids at our church showed me a cool trick one day. If you need to hold a nail for a child to hit, use pliers. I know it is simple but I wouldn't have thought of it myself. I thought your husband would like to know, just in case he didn't think of it either.

My son goes to a wonderful Montessori school and has been doing woodworking since he was 3! Without Montessori, I don't know if I ever would have been brave enough to let him handle a hammer at such a young age. But, I have realized (through his school) that if taught how to correctly use and care for tools, little ones love woodworking and can do it without getting hurt. He has brought home so many neat creations from school and also works on his own projects at home with me. He also likes nailing bottle caps to small pieces of wood.
